Press Review

“The warmth of the team and the relaxed athmosphere is enjoyable. He, who beliefs here is simply a vegan & vegetarian restaurant and café, is wrong. There is much more behind. … Not only, that the dishes are really generous, they taste very well in addition. Absolutely recommendable!The coffee convinces us as well and we mean it. We are really discerning concerning that :-)”

Top Breakfast in Salzburg

A heavenly place for breakfast! At least according to our guests, who have left glowing reviews on Tripadvisor and whose kind votes have carried The Heart of Joy to the very top of the ratings.

Succulent spelt bread with sun flower seeds topped with slices of seitan sausage, traditional muesli with organic amaranth and fresh fruits, French butter croissants, cheese omelette, British porridge – also in the superfood variety – with 15 different breakfast choices on offer, there is this special, uplifting something for almost every taste.

And not only the lovers of purely plant based food, but also those open for new culinary experiences will appreciate our 5 vegan breakfast choices like the Vedic breakfast or the Vegan Delight. Our gluten-free bread and cakes allow even those suffering from allergies to eat like an emperor.

Additionally, The Heart of Joy offers you the widest range of breakfast beverages anywhere in Salzburg: you can select from our much praised and more than fair traded organic coffee, from various traditional tees in organic quality, 50 different kinds of Ayurvedic tees as well as freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juices. Here is more and a short clip about our breakfast »

Cake Dreams

Cakes do not have to be a sin! Not in a vegan & vegetarian restaurant. Our cooks combine enjoyment and health to create true cake dreams that makes them melt in your mouth.

Not only vegans and raw food lovers enjoy our lemony raw cashew cakes made of dried fruits, almonds with a touch of green organic grasses. Just have a look at our cake counter.

A fine variety of vegan cakes are waiting for you! Unfortunately (Fortunately) it cannot be tasted online. That’s why: Visit us and have a go!

A piece of cake in The Heart of Joy along with a cup of fairtrade organic coffee or an ayurvedic tea is true joy of living.

This is a café with chi. Where the breakfast is like meditation. – The small café is much more than a vegetarian-vegan meeting place: it is small oasis of peace. The furnishings are bright, create good mood and slow down. Starting with soups, quiche and curry right up to cakes, all dishes are served with organic ingredients from the region.

On the menu: an extensive range of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free delicacies. The breakfast offer ranges from Fit to Enjoy yourself, Vedic and to Gourmet and lives up to its name. … Add to that the friendly and calm atmosphere of the café with waiters, who are attentive in a pleasant way, as well as a quick service.

That turns the whole more into a bistro. The Heart of Joy is a hot tip for all lovers of a healthy and meatless diet. Be attentive allergy sufferers: for sure you will also feel well treated there.
